Annotation:

"If I were you, I'd ...." is a very common way of making a suggestion.
This is probably not the best way to respond to such a suggestion. However, that doesn't mean you might not hear this response.

All my English sentences are really to find out how they would be translated in Turkish. I think, in this case, the translation is:

"Senin yerinde olsaydım, bunu alırdım." "Ama ben değilsin!" [???]

Just noticed the first part already exists: #3524713

Paraphrased, the first English sentence could also be one of these.

[#3150437] You should buy it. (CK) *audio*
[#3869720] You should probably buy it. (CK)
[#3869719] Maybe you should buy it. (CK)
[#3869718] It might be good if you bought it. (CK)
[#3869717] I think you should buy it. (CK)
[#3869716] I'd suggest you buy it. (CK)
[#3869715] I suggest you buy it. (CK)

These are all ways to make a suggestion in English.
There are, of course, other ways, too.

Turkish translation needed.
